Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Babys name change
My daughter had her baby 20 days ago and she gaved the child the alleged fathers last name. After getting a DNA test it was proved he was not the father. How can we get the baby's last name changed to her last name. No father is listed on the birth certificate and he did not sign any papers saying he was the father.

Re: Babys name change
She can approach this several ways. She can file for paternity of whoever else might be the dad (recommended) and deal with the name change when the actual father is established.
Or she can file a petition for a minor child name change.
